Description and history

[edit]

The Elisha Seymour Jr. House stands west of the center of West Hartford, on the north side of Park Road between Trout Brook Drive and Jessamine Street. It is a 1+12-story painted brick building, with a side gable roof and interior end chimneys. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the center, sheltered by an enclosed wood frame vestibule, finished with a gable roof and clapboards. A single-story gabled ell extends to the right, in front of which is a hip-roofed open porch supported by square columns.[2]

The house is estimated to have been built about 1770. Its first documented owner was Elisha Seymour Jr., a shoemaker. It is a modest example of brick residential architecture of the period, but is locally significant because it is one of the few pre-independence brick buildings in West Hartford.[2]
